Truman is a small Martin County city in southwestern Minnesota, positioned in open farm country between Fairmont and Blue Earth. Cold winters arrive on schedule in this part of the state, and a central gas furnace does all the heavy lifting from fall through spring. When that system fails or starts showing its age, knowing the real replacement cost protects you from paying more than you should.
Furnace Direct ships factory-direct Goodman furnaces to Truman and throughout Martin County. We sell at distributor-tier pricing, removing the equipment markup that contractors typically fold into bundled installation quotes.

- 80% AFUE gas furnace: $2,700 – $4,200

Truman has natural gas service. Rural farmsteads in the surrounding Martin County township may be on LP propane. LP homes benefit most from high-efficiency equipment given the higher fuel cost per BTU—the 96% AFUE upgrade typically pays back in 3–5 years on LP versus 5–7 years on natural gas.
Cost Factors for Truman Homeowners
Martin County winters. This part of southwestern Minnesota is known for cold, persistent winters. High annual heating degree day totals mean efficiency differences show up directly on your gas bill. Upgrading from 80% to 96% AFUE saves $150–$300/year on natural gas for an average home.
Equipment transparency. In small communities like Truman, it's common to receive one bundled quote that combines labor and equipment without breaking them out. You can't tell if the equipment cost is fair. Factory-direct purchasing solves this—you know exactly what you're paying for the furnace, separately from labor.
Home age and ductwork. Older Martin County homes often have original ductwork that leaks. Pair a new high-efficiency furnace with leaky ducts and you'll lose much of the efficiency gain. A duct inspection and seal at time of replacement is well worth the $300–$600 investment.
Venting upgrade. Switching to 96% AFUE means PVC exhaust venting instead of a metal chimney flue. Budget $200–$500 for new venting runs if your current furnace exhausts through a chimney.
